45 rpm Richard Gotainer Primitif Philips vintage vinyl record sleeve

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

45 rpm vinyl record presented with its original sleeve, illustrating Richard Gotainer's album "Primitif." The sleeve features a distinctive graphic illustration, depicting two human silhouettes with feline appearances, in black against a blue and purple twilight landscape, with stylized trees in the background. The lettering "Richard Gotainer" and "Primitif" appear in the upper left, the former in yellow, the latter on a blue insert with a handwritten font. The Philips logo is visible in the upper right, confirming the original label edition.

The front cover shows typical signs of wear from storage and handling: pronounced creases, blunted corners, slight surface scratches, and white marks on the bottom edge. The colors remain well contrasted, with a dominant blue and black and some touches of red for the main title. The vinyl itself is not visible in this photo; only the sleeve is shown in a three-quarter view, placed on a wooden table.

The graphic style of the sleeve evokes Richard Gotainer's characteristic pop and humorous aesthetic, typical of French productions from the 1980s. No other visual elements or accessories appear on the presented side, apart from the wooden table setting and a blurry bookshelf in the background.

The sleeve also displays the handwritten inscription "Penot" below the title "Primitif," an element likely added by a previous owner or by the artist himself, although this is not confirmed here.

This 45 rpm record is for lovers of French music, vintage vinyl records, and fans of retro graphic design. It is a beautiful example of 80s album cover illustration.

Condition
